ANDREA SCHNELL 

Exhi­bi­tion from 18.01.2025 — 05.03.2025

 

 

 

Andrea Schnell, born in 1956 in Mödling in Low­er Aus­tria, stud­ied at the High­er Graph­ic Design Insti­tute in Vien­na. With her “body draw­ings”, the artist does not depict nat­u­ral­is­tic phys­i­cal­i­ties, but rather trans­fers her own sub­jec­tive sen­sa­tions, moods and inner ideas onto paper and thus con­fronts the view­er. The draw­ings are cre­at­ed through a light­ness of ges­ture, a “float­ing” when the ink is applied to the paper. The exhi­bi­tion shows cur­rent works by the artist.

The artist, born in Bangkok in 1952, has been work­ing con­tin­u­ous­ly on work blocks in small for­mat for years. On the one hand, he com­pos­es col­ored sur­faces with pig­ments on the paper primed with beeswax. The sec­ond group of works com­pris­es reduced black and white pic­ture compositions.

Suvat grad­u­at­ed from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Applied Arts in Vien­na. Since 1983 the artist has par­tic­i­pat­ed in numer­ous exhi­bi­tions and exhi­bi­tion par­tic­i­pa­tions in Aus­tria, Ger­many and Italy. Suvat lives and works in Vienna.
